Not surprised but still horrified. Cancelling cancer cure research, limiting vaccines, and this, what is the etiology of this death wish the right has for all of us? Very anti-life (except for embryos, of course)
In a few short weeks, the Supreme Court may very well find in favor of a man who is suing to stop PrEP coverage for millions because he objects to theoretical possibility that someone he employs could one day access PrEP via insurance, and this "encourages and facilitates homosexual behavior."

Kidnapping.
Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.
Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.
A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.
-You cannot legally deport people without due process.
-You cannot legally deport citizens.
-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

Who in the administration knew about Trump's latest tariff flip flop ahead of time? Did anyone buy or sell stocks, and profit at the public’s expense?
I'm writing to the White House — the public has a right to know.

21. They put their faith in a conman because they themselves are conmen who managed in the end to con themselves into believing that the consequences of their choices are for other people, not them.
The question is: why do the rest of us keep trusting them with our money?

Wall Street bankers are just like every other Trump supporter

People keep asking me if Dems are divided between left and center of party. Nope. We are divided over old and new ways of fighting. That 20th Century playbook ain’t stopping a dictator.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Yes, we do have health crises in this country. But demonizing, defunding, and dismantling the research institutions and agencies that are in place to protect and promote health is not the way. Their goal is not truly to make America healthy again.

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.
